Why Aren't Millions of Americans Going to Cuba for Healthcare?

[Weatherman2020]

For years the left touted the Cuban healthcare system as being superior. Yet a year after Obama allowed Americans to travel there airlines cancelled flights because the planes were always empty.

Is everyone in America healthy or was the left just spewing more BS?

The Lefties were never ordered to go to Cuba for their healthcare or those flights would have been overbooked

So this is a straw-man. Of course, medical tourism does happen...but when foreigners come to the US for health care, are they enrolling in insurance plans or are they paying cash? No one comes from, say, Belgium and enrolls in Aetna to get cancer treatment. Also, those coming to America for health care are also typically wealthy people. Conservatives want to make it out like regular, ordinary citizens come to the US for health care, and that's just not true.

A) Because it is illegal for Americans to go to Cuba for healthcare. and
B) Because most Americans prefer to get their care near home even when it might bankrupt them.

Just got to the love the Conservatives who love Big Brother telling Americans that where we can- or cannot travel to.

Nothing says 'small government' like the government telling you that you can't go to Cuba.

So middle and upper income people can't afford a $400 plane ticket but $2,000 a month for insurance?

They lied to you when they said there would be no math in this thread.

The free healthcare in Cuba is for Cuban citizens only.

All others must pay cash.

Thanks for the link. Very first sentence.
"Medical care in Cuba typically does not meet U.S. standards."

My question is, how does the OP know there aren't any Americans flying to Cuba for healthcare?

Yes, this is a well known fact.

You have not shown where "for years the left touted the Cuban healthcare system as being superior".

Proponents of single payer healthcare, like Donald Trump, far more often point to Canada and the UK and Australia.

What good are US standards when millions of people can't afford insurance, all the while Trump is trying to take away health insurance from 10's of millions more.

Same reason they didn't go to the Democrat party for a President.

Because they know the group is supported solely by lies, and can't deliver any of the things they keep promising.
